Horoscopes

For Thursday, Oct. 14, 2004. Those with birthdays today: You have the strength, luck and ingenuity to create much more of what you want in your life. Don’t let the judgment of others interfere with your decisions and actions. If you have too much on your plate, unload or delegate a responsibility or two. You need the freedom to truly be yourself. Use your imagination and brainstorm. If you are single, during the last six months of this birthday year, you will meet someone who knocks your socks off. If you are attached, avoid being too me-oriented. Indulge your sweetie. Keep your relationship primary.
